I would recommend this place had a flat bread pizza delicious 😋 and Bear claw never had one before !
Their drive thru sucks. 15 min for a salad!
The drive thru system is not efficient. We were in the drive thru waiting for 3 meals, with only one modification (no chicken on Caesar salad) and this location said “we don’t have any sides of baguette, apples, or chips” and they didn’t have any bottled waters. We waited in the drive thru for over 40 minutes total, and waited 25 minutes for our food after having paid for it. The staff did not provide us any updates on our food or why it was taking so long....read full review

Panera Bread is a popular destination for many travelers. The staff is friendly, and the store is clean, offering warm and fresh food. Customers can choose the "you pick 2" option, especially enjoying the broccoli cheddar soup and bacon turkey bravo sandwich. The location near Interstate 65 in Lafayette stands out for its attentive cleaning staff. Vegetarian options are available, and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible.
However, some customers have experienced inconsistencies in service. While the food quality is generally good, there have been occasional issues with temperature, such as soup not being as hot as expected. The drive-thru service has also been a source of frustration for some, with long wait times—up to 25 minutes for just a few people in line. Customers wish the restaurant would bring back curbside pickup, especially for drinks, to improve the overall experience. Despite these issues, some visitors have found the staff, service, and food to be amazing, with perfect portions helping to make their stay better during difficult times.
